The Sahara Las Vegas has unveiled a new seasonal promotion aimed at budget-conscious travelers by eliminating its $55 nightly resort fee through October 31. Announced on Tuesday, July 22, the “All-In Rate Experience” includes competitive room rates, dining perks, and additional bonuses, all while sidestepping hidden charges.

To qualify for this limited-time deal, bookings must be made by August 10. Nightly rates begin at $69, with guests receiving several added benefits that blend value with upscale hospitality. Among the highlights are complimentary room upgrades to the renovated Marra Style King room, a daily $25 credit for dining at Balla Italian Soul, and free late checkout.

Extra Value Without the Add-Ons

“Vegas visitors are savvier than ever and they value convenience, quality and transparency,” said Sahara Las Vegas General Manager Paul Hobson. “Sahara focuses on delivering memorable experiences without the hidden costs because real hospitality should feel effortless, not transactional.”

The “All-In” bundle also features access to discounts for shows and services. Guests can redeem exclusive savings via a digital pass, which includes buy-one-get-one drinks at the Azilo Ultra Lounge, reduced rates at Amina Spa, and discounted tickets for “Magic Mike Live.” For those arriving by car, free self-parking and valet remain available—one of the rare perks on the modern-day Strip.

This summer’s downturn in tourism across Las Vegas has driven several resorts to rethink their pricing strategies. According to recent data, visitor volume is down 6.5% year-to-date through May, which equates to approximately 1.1 million fewer travelers. Contributing factors include inflation, tighter household budgets, and reduced international tourism.

Sahara Joins Growing Movement to Ditch Resort Fees

The Sahara isn’t the only Strip property making changes. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Resorts World Las Vegas previously scrapped its $50 resort fee and began offering free parking in response to the summer slowdown. The current average resort fee on the Strip hovers around $50, with most properties maintaining charges between $44 and $57 per night. These fees, once introduced to cover amenities such as Wi-Fi and pool access, have long been criticized for being misleading.

The Federal Trade Commission’s recent rule targeting “junk fees” now requires hotels to present the total cost—including taxes and resort charges—upfront before bookings can proceed online. This change has disrupted how properties appear on travel agency platforms, many of which sort listings by lowest visible rate.

Despite the regulatory shift, few properties have followed Sahara’s lead in removing resort fees entirely. In addition to Resorts World, only Circus Circus, Treasure Island, Casino Royale, and Sahara currently offer both free parking and resort fee-free stays.

The 1,616-room Sahara continues to blend classic Vegas heritage with modern design and service. Following recent renovations, the hotel now offers refreshed rooms and a stronger emphasis on personalized guest experiences. It also features a dedicated Las Vegas Monorail stop and EV charging stations for added convenience.

Guests who book the “All-In Rate Experience” gain access to more than just a place to sleep. Complimentary entry to the Azilo Ultra Lounge, seasonal offers at Amina Spa, and midweek wine deals and weekend steak specials at Balla Italian Soul enhance the value of each stay.
